What do 80/15/5 and 80/10/10 and all those other numbers mean?
Posted on Saturday, August 11th, 2007 at 10:10 am.These numbers are referring to the way loans are structured in a purchase.For example, imagine a $100,000 purchase price for ease of numbers.With an 80/15/5, the buyer would be:
- Getting an 80% first trust loan (this is his primary loan), or $80,000.
- Getting a 15% second trust loan (this loan is at a higher rate), or $15,000.
- Putting 5% of his own money into the deal, or $5,000. (That would be the "5" in the 80/15/5).
An 80/10/10 is similar, but in that case he's putting 10% of his own money into the transaction, etc.

Daniel, These are very good consumer-oriented posts since there are many buyers who have no idea of loan options Karen
